October 15 [10:00 EDT] -- Houston-based R&B outfit H-Town are set to release their first album in five years at the end of this month, a time that also ushers in a very different frame of mind for the group.

Back in 1992, the group got its start working with the notorious Luther Campbell of 2 Live Crew Fame, and scored its breakthrough hit with "Knockin' Da Boots."

Now H-Town has parted ways with Luke, found God, and dedicated its new album, "Ladies Edition, Woman's World," to "the women of the world." The album even carries an apology in its liner notes to women everywhere for what H-Town calls its "past disrespectful ways."

"We're willing to take a stand as a group to show the ladies out there that there are some guys that respect women and want to take a stand and be on their side," H-Town's Shazam told MTV News. "That's basically how we came up with the name 'Ladies Edition' 'cause we wanted to dedicate this album to the ladies. We feel that we made some mistakes in the past, with women, so we want to show the women that we got it right. Not only us... we representing for a lot of males. There's a lot of other males, there's a lot of men out there that are doing the right thing, so we wanted to let the world know that H-town, you know, we made mistakes in the past, and we just wanted to let the world know that we're sorry. We got it right, right now. Not only that, but we got it right with God too, mentally and spiritually with God. We just trying to be some better men this year."
